[rtg] building RTG version 0.9 (building RPM for CentOS)

[Bart van den Heuvel]

It turns out that the 0.9 version is a bit strange. I did create a RPM with
it. After a few small changes to Make files (and getting my hands on the
cgi.Po and later the missing targetmaker tarball) it compiled fine. For
running it as advertised i needed some perl modules (BER for instance) these
were copied from another RTG installation.
However, the compiled version rejects the rtg.cfg it comes with. Every line
in the file seems unexpected and is promptly rejected.

That's why i'm dropping my efforts to create a working 0.9 version RPM.
I'm now creating rpm's from the 0.74 version. Unless someone gives me some
insight on 0.9....

Kind regards, Bart
